[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably important to consider how you become BigLaw equity partner if you want that $$$. Likely starts with high LSAT score and GPA, then top grades at law school, then presentable enough to get hired (or know someone), but what about after that? Everyone is smart at that point, but what does it take to get to equity partner, when you have convinced the others that firm profits should be shared with you, potentially watering down their own shares? Can you do that? Will you do that? What qualities do you add to the firm? Why should you get a piece of the pie rather than increase their profits?[/quote] Very few people who start at biglaw get to equity partner. Part of is is skill, hard work, people skills, etc. But part of it is also luck. Whether you can develop (or inherit) a book of business. And also more than you know is based on internal firm factors that are totally out of your control. [/quote]
